Reaction: CHRNA9:CHRNA10 binds acetylcholine

- in pathway: Acetylcholine inhibits contraction of outer hair cells
CHRNA9:CHRNA10, an unusual nicotinic acetylcholine receptor that is blocked (rather than activated) by nicotine, binds acetylcholine that is secreted by efferent neurons of the olivocochlear complex that form synapses with basal regions of outer hair cells (OHCs) (inferred from rat homologs).
